LONDON AND NEW YOEK: GEORGE BELL & SONS. 1893 s : :; PKEFACE. The attractive subject of Heir Laible's recently pub- lished essay ("Jesus Christus im Thalmud") leads ijie to think that the passages ou which he bases his work, and the comments which he makes upon them, cannot be without interest for the English reader, even though the conclu- sions which he reaches maj^ not on all occasions appear entitled to equally full assent. On my suggesting this to Dr Hermann L. Strack of Berlin (at whose suggestion, as will be seen from the preface to the German edition, Herr Laible undertook the task) I received permission to make use of a large number of spare printed copies of the original texts I xxiv pages 5* 19*) (numbers — ; — which had been edited by Dr Gustaf H. Dalman of Leipzig. ]u oi-der to secure in each case the best available (unexpurgated) text, the following editions were used by him 1. Palestinian Talmud, Venice, 1.523— 4. 2. Babylonian Talmud, Venice. B'ralchoth, Shabbath, Sota, Gittin, Sanhedrin, 'Aboda zara, 1520; Ctiagigah, 1521 Soph'i'im, 1522 ; Aboth, 1526 ; 'Erubin, Kallah, J'bainoth, 152iS.

For the treatises not dealt with by Ra.bbinovicz, 'En Ja'akob, ^'enice, 1546, was specially used. 3. Tosephta, Zuckermandel, Pasewalk, 1880. VI PREFACE. For the present edition Dr Dalmau has also supplied a translation (see pages %9*—40*) of the above-mentioned original texts, so far as they do not already appear in from Herr Laible's essay ; and further, he has now collected unexpurgatod MSS. of Jewish liturgies numerous interesting extracts relating to the same subject (pages 21*—28*) and followed by an English translation (pages 40*—47*). Hereby, as well as by the introduction of other matte, contributed by Dr Dalman and Herr Laible, and incorporated by me with the body of the essay, or appended in the form of foot-notes, the value of this edition of the work is much enhanced. It has been my aim throughout to render the German as closely as regard for English idiom would permit. At the same time I have ventured to deviate from this rule (a) in dealing with the earlier pages of the essay, which appeared to me to be capable with advantage of some con- densation for the English reader, and (b) very occasionally, in modifying expressions used by the Talmud in reference to our Blessed Lord. It may perhaps be considered that I have not gone quite far enough in this latter respect. Words inserted between square brackets in the text are to be understood in all cases as Herr Laible's. On the other hand all notes for which he is not responsible beai- the initials of the writers. In conclusion I have to express my grateful acknowledg- ments to the Rev. R. Sinker, D.D., Librarian of Trinity College, for reading the proof-sheets of this work and for many valuable suggestions. A. W. S. : ;: PREFACE.
